"The state of Oklahoma just decided, and by an appallingly high margin I might add, that a doctor is protected from being sued if he or she chooses not to tell a woman that the baby she is carrying has a birth defect."

"Under this new law, a doctor may withhold information, mislead or even blatantly lie to a pregnant woman and her partner about the health of their baby if the doctor so much as thinks that fetal test results would cause a woman to consider abortion."

EDIT: Why is it that all the conservatives who are pushing for smaller government want the government to intervene where it has no place? After this and the immigration law, it seems like the neocons WANT a police state. What is wrong with our country?!

that's because they do want a police state. neocons believe that all humans are inherently morally corrupt, and need something like religion to tell you how to live. literally. why do you think they are so condescending?

Free market capitalism pandering to the upper class, but religiously like Jesus would do, using the constitution to support the right to bear arms while ignoring the civil rights aspects so that all hispanics can be screened and deported while also taking power from the government yet trying to institute a police state where private health care is the only option yet the doctors can lie to you.

That is the government the right wants us to live in, yes? Am I missing something? I had a stroke about halfway through trying to figure it out.
